Nosebleed false positive?

Can a nosebleed give a false positive on lateral flow?

I did lat flow last night and forgot I get mild nose bleeds on one side, there was a bit of red on swab and the test showed positive. I redid test last night and this morning and both show negative

Do I disregard the first test? Posting here for traffic as I have elderly clients but I’m self employed so if I don’t work I don’t earn. Obviously can’t book pcr test anymore.

YANBU- it’s false positive
YABU any positive is a positive

Blood can mess up an LFT or a PCR result. If you've tested negative this morning you should be fine.
